Exam — fresh questions

12 questions to validate getting started with Yacine, a WinDev developer at an electrical equipment trading SME in Oran: what WinDev is (IDE, RAD, WLangage, range), installation and the trial version, discovering the editor and creating a project, and the concept of analysis (files, items, links).

1. What is WinDev?

A PC SOFT integrated development environment (IDE) for business applications An operating system for servers A graphical theme for Windows A spreadsheet dedicated to accounting

WinDev is a PC SOFT IDE: WLangage, HFSQL, window and report editors, debugger and deployment in one consistent environment.

2. Yacine needs to create a stock management application. Why is WinDev suitable?

Because it imposes the Java language Because it provides the whole consistent workshop (WLangage, HFSQL, editors) Because it is mainly used for video games Because it does not handle databases

WinDev is an integrated workshop designed for business applications: language, HFSQL database, editors and deployment are provided and consistent.

3. Yacine hesitates: code everything by hand or let WinDev generate from the analysis. What does he do?

He codes everything by hand to keep control He gives up RAD, considered too slow He relies on RAD then completes the business logic He waits for RAD to write all the rules alone

RAD generates the backbone (windows, tables, bound code) from the analysis; the business logic remains to be written — the best compromise between speed and control.

4. What is the WinDev trial version?

A free and unlimited version for production A simple PDF manual An empty project template with no code A free, complete but time-limited version

The trial version is free and functionally very complete, but time-limited; production use requires a license.

5. Yacine wants to evaluate WinDev without commitment. What does he do first?

He downloads the trial from the official PC SOFT website He buys the most expensive license He downloads a workshop from a third-party site He waits for a definitive free version

You download the trial from the official PC SOFT source (security, integrity, updates); never from a third-party source.

6. Yacine opens an old project in the latest version. What precaution?

Move straight into production Back up a complete copy before conversion Uninstall the older versions Convert directly and check afterwards

Opening a project in a newer version generally converts it irreversibly: back up a complete copy before any migration.

7. What is a WinDev project?

A simple source code file An isolated print template The unit of work grouping all elements, in a folder An external database, according to the official documentation, without an interface

The project groups all elements (analysis, windows, reports, queries, code) in a folder on disk, to be backed up entirely.

8. Yacine creates his management project. Which element helps him navigate between windows, reports and queries?

The project's Gantt chart The license activation window The debugger, which serves as a table of contents The project explorer, compass of all elements

The project explorer lists all elements (windows, reports, queries, code, analysis): it is the main navigation tool.

9. Should Yacine style each field by hand for his windows?

No: he chooses a skin at creation time Yes: it is mandatory in WinDev No: WinDev forbids visual styles Yes: RAD styles field by field without a skin

The skin applies automatically to all fields; choosing it at creation guarantees consistency and easy maintenance.

0 · Recall

10. In WinDev vocabulary, what does the analysis designate?

A profitability study of the project, even in this case The data model: files, items, links The debugger's error report, even in this case The application's user manual

The analysis is the description of the data structure: files (= tables), items (= columns) and links (= relationships).

11. Yacine describes the link between Customer and Order. What does it translate?

The color of the input windows The number of licenses purchased A business rule: a customer has several orders The remaining duration of the trial version

Links express real business rules (a customer has several orders) and ensure data consistency between files.

0 · Arbitration

12. Yacine is eager to draw the windows. What does the golden rule of analysis remind him?

To generate deployment first To change language To buy the license before anything else To take care of the analysis before the windows

Everything follows from the analysis: a shaky model contaminates windows, queries and reports. It must therefore be taken care of before drawing the windows.

What's next?

Score ≥ 80%: move on to Level 1 — create the analysis, windows and WLangage with Yacine.
Score between 50% and 80%: review the section(s) you missed (0.1 role of WinDev, 0.2 installation and trial version, 0.3 editor and project creation, 0.4 concept of analysis), read the course again, then retake the test.
Score < 50%: reread the whole level 0 while applying each 48h challenge (placing WinDev, installing the trial, creating a project, drawing the analysis) before trying again.
And after that? Keep Yacine's reflexes (integrated workshop, evaluated trial, backed-up project, analysis taken care of before the windows): level 1 connects them to creating the analysis and the first windows.
